Gavin Cameron accused special prosecutors of trying to "rewrite history" in his closing arguments at James's trial in B-C Supreme Court on charges of fraud and breach of trust.
They relate to his claim of a 258-thousand-dollar retirement allowance, his role in the purchase and storage of a wood splitter and trailer and his personal expense claims.
